After a brief hiatus where Emma tried to get her life together, SPEMMA IS BACK! Spemma sat down with Campus Celebrity WUPD officer Casem known widely across campus for telling people to keep track of their items and LABEL THEIR PHONES! You can often see Officer Casem in BD late at night making sure everyone knows to put their student ID number in their phones/laptops. Officer Casem recounts his emotional journey serving as a police officer for the Ferguson police department, and offers up his thoughts on why we shouldn't automatically fear law enforcement. Casem discusses why he joined law enforcement and how he ended up at this crazy land of Wash U, and finally calls out the bird scooters as the ableist commodity they are. (SPEMMA: The Homo Sapien Podcast publicly denounces the bird scooter. They must end.) In summary, Emma hates birds, Sparkle hates birds, Officer Casem hates the birds, and ALL WASH U STUDENTS SHOULD LABEL THEIR PHONES!!Spemma would like to offer a quick trigger warning for this episode. Towards the end Officer Casem tells the emotional story of Jamyla Bolden, a nine-year-old girl who has shot and killed while she was doing homework in her home. Officer Greg Casem was one of the first responders on the scene and did everything he could to save Jamyla's life. As Team Spemma, we are honored that Officer Casem joined us to share his stories with the Wash U community, but encourage all of our listeners to take care of themselves in whatever ways they can.

Today on Midday, a snapshot of the climate for small business in Baltimore from three married couples who run established and successful businesses. In the first segment, Tom is joined by Tim Hicks and Mariah Acap. The couple runs a family automotive repair business that Tim’s father, Dan, launched in 1982. It’s the Baltimore Body Shop, located at the corner of Sisson Street and 29th street in Remington. Their YouTube channel and website about building custom cars is called Street Bandito. In the middle segment, Tom's guests are Lane Harlan and Matthew Pierce, the owners of three restaurants here in Baltimore: a speakeasy called W.C Harlan, a mezcaleria called Clavel -- both in the Remington neighborhood -- and their newest venture, a wine ---- sake bar and bottle shop named Fadensonnen, located nearby in Baltimore’s Old Goucher neighborhood.In the last segment, Tom welcomes to the studio Jamyla and Pierre Bennu.

Guest host Jamyla Krempel sits in for Tom Hall today for a conversation about sex education in Maryland's schools. In the era of the “Me Too” Movement – with its steady stream of stories about actors, politicians, clergy, executives, people in virtually every profession being accused of sexual assault, is sex ed teaching students that power can be used to hurt others, and the importance of consent? Have schools updated their curricula to reflect students’ gender identity and sexual orientation? Dr. Patricia Paluzzi joins Jamyla in Studio A. She is the President and CEO of Healthy Teen Network here in Baltimore, an organization that focuses on improving the health and well-being of teenagers. Healthy Teen Network is a partner in the #HealthyTeen18 Design Challenge which invites educators and students to recommend ways sex ed can include better conversations around sex and pleasure. Tamara Mills is the coordinator of instruction for Worcester County Public Schools. She joins Jamyla on the line from the Eastern Shore.In Part Two of the show, Jamyla is joined in studio by three guests: Deborah Roffman is a sexuality educator, consultant ---- author based here in Baltimore. She has taught human sexuality education at the Park School for more than 35 years. Her latest book is “Talk to Me First: Everything You Need to Know to Become Your Kids’ Go-To Person About Sex.” Time Magazine named her one of the “Top Parenting Experts for the 21st Century. ”Valerie Pasquale is a community health educator with Planned Parenthood of Maryland.Dominique Therman is a sophomore at the Baltimore School for the Arts and a peer educator for Planned Parenthood of Maryland.Part Two of this show was live-streamed on WYPR's Facebook page.

WYPR producer Jamyla Krempel hosts today’s show. There’s been lots of talk lately about changing the narrative in Baltimore. Last month, Mayor Catherine Pugh told an audience at the Parkway Theatre that Baltimore had a “perception problem.” She also said she wanted to “work on the media not depicting Baltimore always as this negative place to be.” The Mayor’s statements got lots of people, including Jamyla, thinking about how Baltimore is perceived.For the first half of the show, Jamyla welcomes two journalists who’ve spent a lot of time thinking and writing about the city. Lawrence Lanahan is a freelance journalist whose work has appeared in Al Jazeera, Columbia Journalism Review and other outlets. He was the creator of WYPR’s The Lines Between Us series. And he was senior producer of the WYPR show “Maryland Morning.” Lisa Snowden McCray is a longtime Baltimore journalist. She was a writer and associate editor for the Baltimore City Paper and then editor-in-chief of The Baltimore Beat, a weekly alternative paper which, sadly, ceased publication yesterday. Later in the show, Jamyla welcomes Al Hutchinson, the president and CEO of Visit Baltimore, and Annie Milli, the executive director of Live Baltimore to talk about Baltimore’s narrative going forward.
